These maps are from Morse's A System of Geography for the Use of Schools. The early state map of Texas shows development primarily confined to the east of Austin. To the west is Bexar and an area marked "Buffaloes and Wild Horses". The map of South America shows basic detail of rivers, topography and place names. There are a number of interesting notes including "Native Tribes Little Known" and "Grassy Plains Called Llanos."
